  Pesto:

  In a small food processor pulse the garlic and the pinenuts until
  finely chopped. Add the basil leaves and the lemon juice and blend
  until the basil has begun to break down. Add the olive oil in a
  gentle stream, blending until the mixture is smooth and at your
  desired consistency.

  Fold in the parmesan and taste for seasoning. Add salt and extra
  lemon juice for acidity as needed.

  Yield: 1 Cup

  Sandwiches:

  Combine all ingredients for the chicken salad in a bowl. Taste for
  seasoning. This can be done one or two days before.

  Preheat a broiler or toaster oven. Brush the ciabatta with olive
  oil and toast until golden brown but not hard. Allow to cool
  slightly, then place the bottom half of each loaf on a sheet of
  plastic wrap. Spread the chicken salad evenly between the two
  slices, top with the mozzarella, sundried tomatoes, and a handful
  of arugula. Place the top on the loaf and cut into four even
  pieces.

  Secure the plastic wrap tightly around the loaf, and then wrap in
  tin foil. Store in a cooler, or keep shaded until time to eat.
